1 Hear the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), you2f people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because [there is] no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in the land.

2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood.

3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and everyone that dwells in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for youri people [are] as they that strive with the priest.

5 Therefore shall youi fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with youi in the night, and I will destroy youri mother.

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because youi have rejected knowledge, I will also reject youi, that youi shall be no priest to me: seeing youi have forgotten the law of youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], I will also forget youri children.

7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame.

8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

11 Whoredom and wine and New Wine take away the heart.

12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of cult prostitution has caused [them] to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof [is] good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with prostitutes: therefore the people [that] does not understand shall fall.

15 Though youi, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], play the prostitute, [yet] let not Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] offend (make angry; make one stumble; violate); and come not you2f unto Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling], neither go you2f up to Beit-On [vanity] [house of vanity], nor swear, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives.

16 For Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] slides back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

17 Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] [is] joined to idols: let him alone.

18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers [with] shame do love, Give you2f.

19 The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
